Six Faculty Members Who Retire This Month
LOUIS P. BENEZET '99, Professor of Education Professor Benezet joined the Dartmouth faculty ten years ago after a distinguished public-school career. His popular courses have drawn upon his own varied experiences as high school and private school teacher and as superintendent of schools in La Crosse, Wis., Evansville, Ind., and Manchester, N. H. A Shakespearean scholar, he believes the Earl of Oxford wrote the plays attributed to the Bard of Avon.
LELAND GRIGGS '02 Professor of Zoology Professor Griggs this year completes an even 40 years as a Dartmouth teacher. His natural history courses, the strawberry feeds that were perhaps the most popular "exams" in the College's history, his famous talk to the incoming freshman class, and his ex- tracurricular work with the outdoor clubs, all made him an outstanding Dartmouth personality for thousands of students.
EVERETT W. GOODHUE 'OO, Professor of Economics Professor Goodhue, during his 27 years in the Dartmouth economics department, has given many a Dartmouth man his basic knowledge of economic principles. While devoting himself largely to these introductory courses, he has also taught advanced courses in banking and in the history of economic liberalism. He has held the rank of full professor ever since he joined the Dartmouth faculty in 1921.
ERVILLE B. WOODS, Professor of Sociology Professor Woods, who joined the Dartmouth faculty 37 years ago, has specialized in the social study of the modern city and of race and race prejudice in America. A graduate of Beoit in 1901, he taught at Beoit, Chicago and Hamline before coming to Hanover in 1911. He has been a full professor since 1919 and has served on a number of state and federal commissions.
LEON B. RICHARDSON '00,new Hampshire Professor of Chemistry Senior member of the faculty and one of its most versatile, Professor Richardson began his Dartmouth teaching career in 1902. Since then, he has made Chem 3-4 (general inorganic chemistry) almost part of his Dartmouth title; has written one of the standard college texts in his field, General College Chemistry, has acquired the uncontested title of Dartmouth historian by virtue of his two-volume History of Dartmouth College; and has had a gigantic hand in fashioning the modern Dartmouth curriculum.
JOSEPH W. TANCH, Professor of Physics Professor Tanch, native of Nova Scotia and graduate of Acadia University, joined the Dartmouth faculty in 1919 upon completion or his Ph.D. at Yale. In his 29 years of effective teaching in Hanover he has given courses in general physics, at the next leve Physics 1-2, and has also taught an advanced course in light.
